OT people who live in/near austin

i was reading in another group and someone brought up the map program, it
seems you can qualify for the help if you have limited income, low wages or
unemp benn and even if you can't get full coverage you can be on the sliding
scale, i can't remember which off you live there or in the nearby counties,
but in this day and age of unemplment and medical costs for regular med
skyrocketing i though you might want to go to the socal services part of the
austin city site and check it out, Lee

I wanted to add that this organization provides a low cost food help. THIS
IS NOT WELFARE, HANDOUTS OR A FOOD BANK . I want to point that out again
for a few of you last time ASSUMED it was and made some not so worthy
comments. This organizations buys food in bulk, sells the food, takes the
profits and helps the ones that need the help. The food is excellent
quality, taste great plus you are helping a worthy cause.

I don't live in that area, so I'm not very familiar with the
terminology and was just wondering - is "map" short for medical
assistance program, or something of that nature?

yes, sorry... it seems that texas in general but this area in particular has
assistance programs that not only benifit the totally indegint, they help
the working poor, considering assets, and if you qualify for something else
instead from the conversation, wich i had kept it, they help you get say
medicade/medicare instead of their stuff... working poor, those on unempl
and homeless fall through the cracks and this seems to be an attempt to fix
that.

Thank you, Matthew! It's not charity. You don't have to "qualify" for
anything nor do you have to be destitute or be receiving Food Stamps or
Welfare to participate. You do pay for the food, you simply pay less
because of the way they buy it. And it's not like a store - you can only
pick it up one day a month at a participating church (staffed by
volunteers).

The only thing I don't recommend is the pre-prepared "Senior Meals". I
tried that once when my mother was still alive. In terms of taste it would
be better to buy regular TV dinners at the grocery store, and that's not
saying much LOL

Yeah I was not impressed by them either and for the cost you could go buy a
hungry man TV dinner for less

So much of the food is breaded and such but, if that isn't a problem it is a
good deal for the most part.

Not true. I order from Angel Food every two to three months. I usually get
steaks, chicken, pork chops, ground beef. None of them are breaded. This
month (July 2010) they have chicken leg quarters, frozen vegetables, a head
of fresh cabbage. Last time I got a bag of potatoes and a bag of onions
along with pork chops and steaks. They always include a dozen eggs and 32
oz. of shelf stable milk. Occasionally they'll have breaded something or
other, but that's an exception, not the rule.
